They defeated Dindigul Dragons by 9 wickets, a victory led by the young blazing fast bowler Esakkimuthu A., who took four wickets. M. Mathivannan took three to bowl out Dragons for just 93 runs. Tushar Raheja’s quick 65 off 39 balls made the chase look like a piece of cake.

The pitch at SCF Cricket Ground, Salem is of balanced nature where both ball and bat get a chance. Fast bowlers get some swing and seam early in the match, but as the innings progresses, the pitch becomes a little flat. Batsmen who take some time initially can score well later. Spinners are also quite effective in the middle overs, especially when the match is played under lights.
In the past few matches, scores between 150 to 170 have been common. The team winning the toss generally prefers to field, as chasing has become a little easier in recent games. Bowlers also get some help, so both teams will have to choose their bowling combinations correctly. This ground is not famous for scoring runs, but a set batsman can change the game here.
